The Dukan method makes it possible to lose 10 pounds in 100 days, one every 10 days. No need to count calories, the diet is based on simplicity. First of all, you decide the weight and “right weight”, taking into account gender, age, weight, maximum and minimum achieved in life and the bone structure. The Dukan Diet consists of 4 phases: attack phase (3-4 days) in which you will consume protein (lean meats, fish, chicken, eggs, and low fat dairy, ham). The second phase will add the vegetables. The third and fourth phase finally stabilizes the weight.
The problem is not 3 or 4 pounds that can easily be missed in less than a month. The critical point is 7 pounds heavier: this is the alarm that indicates health problems on the horizon and that action is needed to prevent obesity, linked to hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and other diseases.
A scheme such as this with high-protein diet, Dukan says, is not a health hazard in that it prevents fat and is used to bring down cholesterol and control diabetes and hypertension and anemia. The Dukan diet is not recommended only for those who suffer from kidney failure.
One of the hush-hush of the Dukan, like any diet, you drink at least a liter and a half of water a day. The other rules to follow: on Thursday you only eat protein every day three tablespoons of oat bran.
The paste can be eaten twice a week. The trick exclaims Dukan: “Low fat yoghurt or a biscuit oats with salmon, or a fillet of fish.”
As with all diets the workout should not be overlooked: the Dukan prescribes for 20 minutes every day to walk or bike and stairs.

The alarm was raised after the results of a survey of 2,000 British women by brand Hovis Wholemeal, reported the Daily Mail. 35 percent of women surveyed confessed not only to have recovered all the lost pounds after a diet of type “strong” (who have managed to hold no more than 15 days), but to be increased after 2 more pounds. 48 percent acknowledge that they have stopped the diet and could not resist the temptation to eliminate snacks. A woman interviewed reveals that she tried unsuccessfully to completely eliminate the bread.
Experts point out that the only way to lose weight is to adopt a long-term balanced diet in combination to ‘ physical activity.
The diet eliminates carbohydrates and is a unbalanced diet that favor one class of foods over others: in addition to unhealthy nutrition suggestions these diets are doomed to be a failure. Not to mention that those who decide to undertake them go astray by false media messages often offering images of celebrities that appear lean not from the Dukan diet but by the touch of Photoshop.
The final coup de grace came from the British Dietetic Association, which compiled the list of the five worst diets of celebrities that must be avoided.
Here they are:
- The Raw Food Diet , adopted by Demi Moore, Natalie Portman and Woody Harrelson, which requires to eat food products and raw non-pasteurized and non-homogenized
- The Blood Type Diet, loved by Cheryl Cole, Sir Cliff Richard and Courtney Cox, which requires separate power supply depending on the blood group membership
- The diet called by the slang name “Drunkorexia”, apparently a favorite of Lady Gaga, which is in the form of alcohol and is to ingest the calories cut during the diet.
- The Dukan diet, which consists of a high-protein diet, which was also rejected on the whole.
